Ted Cruz Releases Statement on the Debate
Ted Cruz via Facebook ^

Posted on 09/27/2016 3:52:05 AM PDT by TigerClaws

Tonight, a clear contrast was drawn between the two nominees. Tonight, Hillary Clinton made it clearer than ever that if elected President, our future will continue on the same path that is hurting millions of Americans. If Clinton is elected, we know that the havoc Obamacare is wreaking on American families, on small businesses, and on our healthcare system will continue. We know that President Obama’s relentless efforts to crush the oil and gas industry and to wage war on coal will continue. We know that the Obama administration’s willful blindness to radical Islamic terrorism and the influx of unvetted refugees from nations infiltrated by terrorists will continue. We know that President Obama’s lawless executive amnesty will continue and even expand.

If Clinton is elected, we know that a liberal justice will be named to fill Scalia’s seat and we will lose the Supreme Court for a generation. With that, we know for a certainty that our right to keep and bear arms, our religious liberty and federalism are in danger. Tonight we received insight into what a Hillary Clinton presidency would look like for Americans. We know that her policies would kill jobs, reduce wages, and continue the downward spiral our country has endured under President Obama.

Tonight, Donald Trump had his strongest debate performance of the election cycle. He drew strong contrasts with Hillary on taxes, regulations, law and order, and the disastrous Iran deal.

Rather than Hillary's America, we need to take a different path. A path that would begin to restore our country from the damage it has suffered the last eight years. We need to unite to defend freedom and restore the Constitution. And Hillary Clinton made absolutely clear tonight she would not do so.

Please, we have just witnessed sore winner after sore winner in this forum excoriating Ted Cruz after he came out in support of Trump and again when he issued a statement in support of Trump's debate performance.

Just who is "snarky?"

It is Cruz who is working on behalf of Trump and it is Cruz supporters who are calling for a cessation of hostilities but the bloodthirsty Cruz haters in this forum simply cannot quit. They continue to defame Cruz and his supporters and then claim that we are causing a lack of unity which in turn might elect Hillary.

Instance after instance of defamation is as nothing to you but "finally, the voice of reason" is snarky. Really?

Cruz is a globalist. If we wanted globalist we’d have picked him.

I agree with you. Otherwise, why do the TPA/TPP and Corker two step?

Not globalism but what BIG GOV can do in the long term

Glad to see Cruz is now focused on the real enemy: Hillary Clinton and he is firmly on the Trump train to victory.

Better late, than never. Trump is doing well, but he still needs all the support he can get to beat Hillary.

It’s good that Cruz finally saw the light and is supporting Trump.

Well, I and many others expressed our appreciation for Cruz making the statement he made. It’s true, many can’t easily forgive Cruz for withholding his support during these crucial months and made comments accordingly.

Then, someone made the preposterous suggestion that it’s “Cruz haters” who are risking putting Clinton in the White House. That suggestion is the height of irony, given that it is Cruz and his supporters, with their Trump hate, who have for months risked putting Clinton in the White House by conspicuously withholding their support of Trump. I’d call that comment snarky at the very least.

Then you chose that comment, of all comments, to honor with your “Finally, a voice of reason!”. Maybe yours was not intended to be a snarky comment, but certainly it was tone deaf and ill considered, given the history of what has transpired.

There were many positive comments made about Cruz’s statement - were they not a voice of reason?

It is Trump hate, not Cruz hate that has put this election at risk.

Cruz has a lot of supporters on this site. Many were ‘Never Trumpers’ who might now vote Trump based on this change.


I'm one of those who did not want to vote for trump because he has so many negatives and he's a terrible debater, plus other reason. I referred this site to a lot of my bible study groups and others. I told them FR has lots of info on polls and info you won't hear in the corrupt media. If you want trump to win, you probably don't want to show hate to a Cruz supporter or Cruz. They can say forget this and just stay home. They are having a hard time as it voting for Trump. Now they are considering Trump. Please put the past behind you. If you can't, you'll be part of the reason trump loses.

The scariest thing about Hilary isn't what she is going to do, but that she will continue the status quo. Voters get used to the crap that has happened and have forgotten how bad the status quo is.

I care what he thinks. I am voting for Trump because I hate Hillary Clinton. Ted Cruz is if nothing else a statesman. And conservatives need statesmen.

Cruz Derangement Syndrome leads to faulty thinking. The primaries ended months ago. Deal with it.

Unfortunately that is the standard around here. In a senate full of McConnells and McCains and Snowes and Cochrans, people around here think we need less of Cruz (which means more power to the RINOS).

Cruz was never #NeverTrump. He was simply an undecided voter, other than vowing never to vote for Hillary. The #NeverTrump movement really seems to be made up of the Romney types, the RINOs who were backing Jeb or someone else, but definitely weren’t backing Cruz.

Even Trump’s supporters seem to believe he’s a very unique figure. So who exactly do they think they’re going to find to populate Congress to write the legislation Trump’s going to sign? Which other GOP Senators are more likely to back Trump’s policies than Cruz?

Cruz tried to create his own NeverTrump movement by getting the Christian Right and the “Consistent Conservatives” to abandon Trump along with him. He failed to connect with the base on that campaign too. We wound up as a guy alone in a field waving his banner. Romney was just more successful at his brand of NeverTrumpism.
